Mohandas K. Gandhi, known as Mahatma (great soul) Gandhi, is a revered figure worldwide for his nonviolent action to free India from British rule. His iconic status endures in the United States, through his influence on Martin Luther King, Jr., and in oular culture, including quotations, a blockbuster film, and interest in Hindu sirituality and ractices. Readers will discover how Gandhi came to be a member of the exalted antheon of men for the ages. They will follow him from his familys home in the rovinces to an early arranged marriage, solo sojourn in England to reare for a law career, and growth from a timid new barrister in South Africa to Indias foremost negotiator with the British ower structure. He is shown evolving from a loyal British subject to become the chamion of Home Rule for India often inciting illegal actions to get himself and his suorters arrested to further the cause, and risking his life with his famous hunger strikes.
